Tuesday September 1st Local Sports

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Luis Robert hit a tying homer in the seventh inning and the go-ahead double in the ninth, and the Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the skidding Minnesota Twins 8-5. The afterglow from Lucas Giolito’s no-hitter faded fast, as the right-hander fell behind 4-0 in his follow-up start. The White Sox surged back to win for the 12th time in 14 games. They’re in sole possession of first place in the AL Central for the first time this season, ahead of Cleveland and Minnesota. Miguel Sanó homered and scored three runs for the Twins, who have lost six straight games.

 

 

UNDATED (AP) — A new court filing shows that Big Ten presidents voted 11-3 to postpone the football season until spring. The court filing is the Big Ten’s response to a lawsuit brought by a group of Nebraska football players who want the fall season reinstated. The Big Ten announced Aug. 11 it would move its football season from fall to spring because of health risks associated with the coronavirus pandemic. The filing did not identify how each school specifically voted, but a person familiar with the outcome told The Associated Press Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio State voted against postponing the fall football season.

 

 

AMES — Iowa State will allow 25-thousand fans at the Cyclone season opener against Louisiana on September 12th. ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard says there will be no tailgating allowed and fans will be required to wear face coverings.

The stadium will be mapped out to allow for social distancing and Pollard says if fans don’t follow the protocols, the October 4th game against Oklahoma could be played without fans.

The 25-thousand fans is under 50-percent capacity in Jack Trice Stadium and Pollard says it was based on season ticket sales.

Pollard says the fans will need to do their part.

Pollard anticipates around five thousand students to be in the stadium.
